Photo Coverage of 2000 World Championship

Sunday's Pictures

Jon Finkel, winner of Pro Tour New York 1998, Pro Tour Player of the year 1998, Team Champion 1998 and US national champion 2000 became the new 2000 World Champion after a very exciting match against Bob Maher, the new Pro Tour Player of the year 2000.

The Spanish team beat the Norwegian team in round 1. This won them a feature match against the American team in round 2. Carlos Barrado is playing a mono-black deck against Jon Finkel whos playing a black/red deck.

After the decks are made, its time to decide who plays what. This is sometimes a time of careful negotiation, as the player stuck with the worst deck often ends up dragging down the team with a poor performance.

All 4 Magic artists Randy Gallegos, Paolo Parent, Jeff Miracola and Scott Fisher were given paint and a giant white banner. Mission: be creative. Many spectators watched them in action. This mural will be auctioned on Sunday.
